My daughter loves going to nursery in the morning. They embrace any kind of religion and culture, staff members are lovely and all the above makes my heart and mind in peace when I drop her off there. I saw lots of improvements in her since she started last September.

This place is just wonderful, I couldn't be happier. The staff are fantastic and so warm and caring. My daughter loves it here. The manager is fantastic but also gets her hands dirty. They always keep us aware of what is happening day to day. They send pictures and when it's a birthday they really make
the child feel special. I couldn't recommend little learners more.

Our two children have attended Little Learners Cricklewood. The quality of care has remained excellent throughout the past 4 years to the present day. Staff are wonderful; the activities, space and events have all enriched our children in their early years. I have had experience of other nurseries and
nothing compares to here - hence the Outstanding rating! We love it so much, I'll be very sad for my son to leave next year!

My son has been at The Little Leaners Montessori Cricklewood for coming up to 6 months and within that time he's gone from saying one word to full sentences! Every day he comes home with a new topic which he learnt at nursery. The facility is amazing and the staff are even better! I cannot fault the
nursery and can honestly say that this was the best nursery that we could have chosen for our little developer!

What a wonderful Nursery School - the staff are amazing, and very attentive. The little one has developed in leaps and bounds since attending Little Learners. We're very fortunate to have them in our neighbourhood.

We love this nursery. All the teachers are super nice and professional. Every day there is just full of fun and they learn so much about the world. My son's vocabulary and his understanding about everything just grows by the week. He always comes out with a smile. 10/10.

The staff were very friendly and diverse to make all children feel comfortable and relatable.
Also very loving towards all children in every circumstance and highly communicative throughout the whole process.
The kids built a great bond with both students and teachers.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Little Learners hold a very special place in our hearts.
My daughter enjoyed 2.5 years here, and it has been wonderful to see the staff providing her with all the love, care and teachings. The staff are attentive and never fail to go above and beyond.
Many fond memories have been made for my daughter,
and also us as parents with the nursery events that The Little Learners organise for us to attend.
Now that my daughter has left, she still talks fondly of her time there and all the friends she has made.
My son also joined The Little Learners and has been here for nearly a year. He is very happy in the setting and we only continue to be impressed with what The Little Learners provides him with.

Review from Munnar R (Mother of Child) published on 20 September 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
An absolutely amazing nursery made by an excellent team of staff who do a brilliant job! My child was at this nursery for 2 years and loved every day of it. It is a loving environment where children are encouraged to thrive and develop. The nursery is well-equipped with a variety of Montessori activities,
a lovely outdoor area and separate spaces for toddlers and preschoolers. The nursery manager is a most pleasant nursery manager ever. She has a wonderful bond with all the children and coordinates the nursery positively.


I already have my second child attending too and will be sending my 3rd there!

Little Learners is an absolutely brilliant nursery. My son just graduated from there last month and it was such a fantastic experience for my family. He was very happy there, I was always kept informed about his progress via regular catchups and lots of photos. The staff genuinely cared about him and
were always happy to go above and beyond. The nursery manager is incredible. She's very knowledgeable, experienced and caring. We'll miss the Little Learners.
Thank you so much for everything.

Amazing nursery. The staff have become like family, they really care for the child and tailor the learning to each individual. They do activities according to the child’s interests and develop learning on that. They host lots of nice fun days and prepare really well the children for reception

I would highly recommend The Little Learners to any parent. The team are fantastic and have felt a complete sense of trust and satisfaction with sending my daughter there! Since starting at the nursery I have seen how much my daughter has developed and feel very grateful for everyone at the nursery
that has helped my daughter grow and learn! I would like to say a big thank you to the manager and all the team at Little Learners for everything, we will miss you all and sad to say goodbye for now! We look forward to our youngest daughter starting next year!

The Little Learners Cricklewood is a wonderful nursery. The staff are made up of a team who are caring and dedicated which gave us peace of mind. My daughter was very happy in their hands and environment from start to end. The nursery space itself is small but this does not detract from their learning
opportunities. They have great activities set up for them. My little one was also able to attend extra-curricular activities such as ballet and gymnastics (extra fee). The manager Kirsty is great at keeping parents in the loop with a weekly timetable and other event dates are given well in advanced - great for parents who find it hard to get time off work. They have lots of events to keep parents and carers involved which is lovely for the children and nice for us to see snippets of what goes on when our children are in their care. I am so glad that my daughter had a positive nursery experience and highly recommend this nursery to any parent. Thank you Little Learners Cricklewood.

The Little Learners has been such a special place for us. My daughter spent 2 happy years at the nursery.
I can’t recommend The Little Learners enough. The teachers are kind and caring. They really care about the children’s development and respect each one’s individuality. It is amazing to see how
much my child has progressed over the years.
Thank you to the manager and The Little Learners team. We will miss you all very much.

The Little Learners nursery stands out from other nurseries for the quality of its management, well-trained staff and diverse play-based approach to learning. Our little one has been attending the nursery for the past year, and you can stark improvements in his literacy and numeracy skills, as well
as his general knowledge aided by activities that encourage children's exposure to various subjects. It is a safe environment that sets up the right foundation for children to thrive in their schooling later on.

A truly fantastic nursery with a real family feel. The teachers are all lovely and really get to know your child. My daughter has learnt so much and made a lot of little friends. She enjoys it a bit too much as she often wants to stay longer when I go to collect her! They also get parents involved regularly
which is great as the children love having us there and we get to know everyone (their friends, other parents and the teachers).

My child has been attending this nursery since the age of 2. My child continues to show improvement in all areas and loves nursery. He always speaks about the staff and is excited to go in the mornings. He never cries and most times doesn't even say bye. I think that speaks for itself! My child is a
very picky child and is selective but gravitates to the staff at Little Learners and has many lovely friends there also. I can't recommend this nursery enough! The level of teaching is immense and any pupil would strive in this environment.

My son went to this nursery after going to another nursery (a big chain) and the difference is massive. Little Learners fully engage all the children and help them to learn in a way that sets them up for school and the world around them. My daughter is now at the nursery and she enjoys it just as much.
I would recommend this nursery to any parent.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.350)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.350) out of 10 for The Little Learners Montessori Cricklewood is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 6 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 5.000 for The Little Learners Montessori Cricklewood is calculated as follows: ( (72 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 5
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.35 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Little Learners Montessori Cricklewood is based on 6 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 = 3.6
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 40 number of registered child places is 8. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 8 = 0.75
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
